Inspired by art and heritage, our work focuses on the plurality of cultural identity by questioning place and perspective through a range of jewelry, garments, objects and art installations. We refer to our designs as artifacts of extended self.\u00a0 They are handmade, one-of-a-kind and some come as limited editions. We embrace diversity in all its forms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sustainability and Responsibility <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We explore the potential of handwoven, vintage and surplus textile material by giving it a new life through old and new artisanal skills. Behind each of our designs there are a lot of awesome craftspeople and collectives. We support heritage techniques by creating awareness of their beauty and the need to preserve them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Fairness and Transparency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our production is done in small workshops in India and Austria where we cultivate direct relationships and work to ensure fair and ethical conditions for every single one of them.\u00a0We believe that positive change happens through communication, collaboration and education on all ends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Our Family<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- START UNITE GALLERY LITE 1.7.43 -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id='unitegallery_1_1' class='unite-gallery' style='margin:0px auto;'>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC03444.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC03444.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC03480.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC03480.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC03505-e1469535357816.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC03505-e1469535357816.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/10452365_10152259083963575_1408567206709511136_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/10452365_10152259083963575_1408567206709511136_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/10152414_10152259095238575_4895165179747679167_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/10152414_10152259095238575_4895165179747679167_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/5968_108233218574_6869397_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/5968_108233218574_6869397_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WomenAtWorkSmallSize.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WomenAtWorkSmallSize.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     src=\"\" data-image=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/5968_108233198574_7836092_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     data-thumb=\"http:\/\/sanchali.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/5968_108233198574_7836092_n.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"display:none\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<script type='text\/javascript'>\n\t\t\t\twindow.onload = function(e) {\n\t\t\t\t\tif(typeof ugCheckForErrors == \"undefined\"){\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"unitegallery_1_1\").innerHTML = \"<span style='color:red'>Unite Gallery Error - gallery js and css files not included in the footer.

My love for regional and ancestral arts and crafts grew stronger as local people gifted me their knowledge and I was drawn in by their warmth and philosophy. This enriching experience transformed me from a visiting designer to a collaborator, creating opportunities for people in villages with a holistic approach through my designs. All of these discoveries and insights eventually led to the creation of <em>Sanchali<\/em> in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dakshayini Gowda von Stietencron<\/strong>, Artist, Founder, Mother, Entrepreneur, Interlocutor and a decent cook<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sanchali &#8211; Today<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A beautiful yet unexpected life change brought me to Austria.\u00a0At the start, joining a culture that was far from my own was not easy and led to many bittersweet, bubble bursting but also enriching experiences. The <em>Sanchali<\/em> project had to be rethought, keeping its core values in place and balancing the new influences in my existing environment. New ways of working emerged! Long distance communication through photos and voice messages\u00a0kept my relationship with local artisans alive.\u00a0When at times it was challenging,\u00a0I remembered\u00a0what\u00a0my mother told me:\u00a0that I have planted new roots into a different cultural\u00a0environment, which require cultivation, nourishment and care. Over time, I found that a firmly rooted individual can grow strong in any surrounding, and that this emotional journey provided me with a new perspective. SANCHALI is where I have been, where I am now and where I\u2019m ready to go next.
